I recently put up a shortened 160 meter inverted V.  It is around 170' long
(with loading coils) and the peak of the antenna is about 52' up (yes, I
know it is a cloud burner!)  I have been planning to get the antenna up a
bit higher, but it is going to take some work.  I think I can get the
antenna up around 65 to 70'.  My question is, will this make much
difference?>>

I don't think so, but you never know. I make it a policy to always use the
most height I can get. Even if the antenna does not work better, I feel much
better when I look at it if it is way up in the air.
